Quakers were new to the team when I joined the chaplaincy at the University of St Andrews a few years ago: I had no clearly defined role to follow. With the support of my Local Meeting, I hoped to be able to offer a Quakerly presence to the life of the university in whatever ways might open, and my involvement has been surprising and fruitful for me. Perhaps for others too!
